Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I was in Kuwait and I bought a specific item from a person for three hundred Kuwaiti dinars thirty years ago, and I know nothing about the owner of the claim. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
My brother, if the person you bought from is from Kuwait, then without a doubt his neighbors and the people of the market where he is located know him. You should ask about him and give him his right if he is still alive. If he has died, you give this to his heirs or to his agent. However, if the person you bought from is not from the country, but is a visitor to the country, and it is difficult for you to deliver his right to him, then as mentioned previously, you give it in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to its owner. Yes.
